Pics from the WA-M 2011 Fun Run in Yakima, June 25 & 26th

BILL AND TERRIE GETING READY TO GO TO THE POKER RUN, SATURDAY MORNING

WE ARRIVE AT THE POKER RUN TO FIND MIKE MERCIER READY TO GO.

IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO BE A BEAUTIFUL DAY. GOD ONLY KNOWS WHY DON TOOK A PICTURE OF MY BACK SIDE.

SILENT AUCTION TABLE. COFFEE AND SNACKS FIRST, THEN WE RIDE.

A LITTLE CONVERSATION IS IN ORDER.

A LITTLE MORE CONVERSATION.

AND A SECOND LOOK AT THE SILENT AUCTION TABLE.

WE ARE ALL SIGNED IN. WE HAVE THE INSTRUCTIONS. OKAY, WHO'S LEADING? I CAN'T READ THESE AND RIDE TOO.

CHAPTER M DOES IT AGAIN. DO YOU THINK YOU CAN READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND LEAD THE GROUP?

DO YOU REMEMBER LAST YEARS INSTRUCTIONS. HERE THEY ARE TO REFRESH YOUR MEMORY. SEE BELOW.

The GREEN, YELLOW and PURPLE highlights are so the rider can tell where the last instruction ends and the next instruction began.
It was necessary for the rider to make those highlights just to START riding.

SOMEONE PROMISED THAT THEY WOULD NOT LOOK LIKE THIS IN 2011. I GUESS HE DIDN'T QUITE GET HIS WISH.

RIDE INSTRUCTIONS? WALLY TRIES TO EXPLAIN WHAT THE INSTRUCTION WRITER MEANT.

THIS SET OF INSTRUCTIONS WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER AND EASIER TO FOLLOW.

MUCH TO OUR SURPRISE, WE MANAGED TO MAKE IT TO THE FIRST CHECK POINT. IT IS CERTAINLY A BEAUTIFUL DAY JUST THE SAME.

CAN YOU SAY 'ICE CREAM'?

CHECK POINT TWO - NO ICE CREAM HERE BUT WE HAVE COOKIES OUTSIDE AND ICE CREAM INSIDE.
